Despite there being no clear word for quite some time on if Cheryl Cole would actually land a seat on the judges table for the American version of X Factor, sources close to the reality competition are now claiming that she's THIS close to securing the position, and is having her contract written up as we speak, with her announcement as third judge - alongside Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid - coming soon!

Amazing! Let's just hope that there are no much hiccups, and this actually goes through! So the fourth selection can follow!

We don't care who the judges are at this point, we just want them announced!

omg perez you want to be a part of this sooo badly its pathetic…if you dont get the judge spot (hahahaha never gonna happen) then through this dumb bitch…its sad…hope shes paying you well. perez you are toxic and the fact that this unheard of talentless hack wants to associate with you just speaks volumes of her desperate attempt at a career here. she will fail miserably and i hope that jessica simpson or vanessa hudgens get the spot ONLY because i know you really hate them.

GREAT. ANOTHER NO MARK BRIT, BITCHING AT AMERICANS! PEOPLE MAKE SURE YOU SWITCH THIS SHIT OFF! CHANGE THE CHANNEL & KICK EM THE FUK OUT! SEEND THEM BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY WHERE THEY CAN USE THEIR OWN AND SAY WE ALWAYS WANTED TO COME HOME ANYWAY!

this woman needs to literally disapear. she is the most annoying and up her own arse celebrity we have in the uk. seriously, she does the i am a sweetheart role, but by now people have realised how full of shit she is!!! i hope that she does get the america job and leaves the uk for good!!! seriously! no wonder ashley cole cheated on her, she probably drove him away! she drives me away from watching anything she is on!

I'm sorry who? Oh, that's right…A British girl no one knows. Congrats, Simon. Middle America will have absolutely no idea who you've got on your panel of judges. While the Voice is sitting high and mighty with Xtina, CeeLo, Adam, and Blake.

America, don"t worry X Factor USA will turn into" Simon and Cheryl Show" just like UK last season. Simon can manipulate Cheryl who the contestant he wants to get through that's why she's in USA panel despite of being unknown, thick accent and with criminal record and her only asset is her looks!

Ole Chezza Cole is getting REALLY BAD press over here in the UK. She's been put on a high pedestal by Simon Cowell but now the knives are out for her. She's said her accent is going nowhere - she's proud to be from Geordieland. Now we hear she's been having elocution lessons for months to try to fit in over there in LA. Which is it Chezza? Oh yes, you Yanks are going to find out she'll do whatever it takes to make it over there. She's a no talent ho whose face fits. She was in the right place at the right time but there was controversy then that Popstars the Rivals was a fix. Please look up her audition on youtube - you'll laugh till you're sick I promise you!!! Her criminal conviction for assault is coming home to roost!!!!

Oh my GOD SHUT UP about XFactor already! I don't even want to watch it because you've been babbling about it and her for a year. Cheryl and Adele can go home now. God Perez don't you realize you do this shit?

Simon and FOX would be total fools if they put her on that 'famous' judging panel. When Simon appeared on Piers Morgan Tonight, he said 'When I'll announce my judging panel, you'll see what people I'm putting behind me and that I'm serious about this'. C'mon, there is no way Cheryl could be one of the judges. And part of me thinks that Simon is using Cheryl only to get publicity for US X Factor and she doesn't mind it, cos she loves when people talk about her. And everybody wants to see Paula Abdul on the show. I like her much more than CC, but if Simon wants to make X Factor the biggest and the best show in the world, he should think of people that are behind the scenes, cos X Factor judges have to mentor acts, and managers, producers, etc. now that better than anyone. And in the end, it's not American Idol reunion, talking about Paula.

If Cheryl gets it, I'll enjoy seeing her being crucified by the American press. If she does't get it, I'll enjoy seeing her being crucified by the British Press. Nothing personal but this is what you get Simon and Cheryl, for vote fixing on X Factor UK last year. Thankfully the public vote saved the day by voting for Dannii's act Matt McCardle.

i think no one care who is in his judging panel he want only press and want to wait to see what the new idol will do ( the voice ) coz for most simon is the most imporant one in the panel and the other are the backups,

why alote of artist turned him down you need to ask! not only because they are busy they know he will controll them even in american idol did this with paula and randy coz he is the star i think randy is happy now without him at least he can talk and people listen to him,

no one care of the judges if he will do a great show but he want to be the best and he will do every thing for that, and he will not bring any one he is not a friend of him or control him so no need to know the judge panel
he is afraid of this now not the judge panel after he left people loves JLO steven taylor and randy coz they are real and lovely to watch and thier is no huge mainpulation like before even the producers admitted and for the producer LA raid i think he is simon friend

simon cowell tried several time to slams christina aguilera after the national anthem coz she supposed to be in his show and she want to the voice and he said a really bad things if you noticed he will be scared to death if it was said about him but i know now way he said it coz she is in the voice on nbc

I’m not much of a simple worker, living in Belgium (a small country in Europe). I’m French, but I can understand both English and American speaking people and also Cheryl Cole's accent. So haters aren’t you a little bit idiot ? Is it another expression of jealousy ? Cheryl Cole is a pretty and cute girl, but the most important is that she’s a really great great great girl inside. You’ll love her, trust me !

As we previously reported, Britney Spears' baby daddy has requested an increase in his $20K a month child support stipend. While it's said that Godney isn't THRILLED at the request, she's letting her poppa negotiate a deal with KFed.

And it appears that negotiations are well under way, though Mr. Spears is NOT impressed with his former son-in-law!
